In Pictures: Winning Windows 8 tablets for travel

At a Clover Trail coming-out party, Intel showed off its mid-range Windows 8 hybrid devices. Here's a look at the features of some of the new Clover Trail devices that make them a winning choice for your next travel PC.

Short on razzle-dazzle styling, but long on business features, this 10-inch, 1366x768 tablet includes a docking station and swappable battery -- because, apparently, even the power efficiency of Clover Trail CPUs doesn't preclude the need for even more battery life (and, of course, IT departments appreciate battery serviceability).

An optional dock includes full-size USB ports, an SD card slot, and Ethernet support. Dell also boasts that the Latitude 10 supports Dell Data Protection and Encryption, a feature that will appeal to IT departments who want to lock down employee data.

The tablet is pudgy at 10.5mm thick, though it weighs about 1.6 pounds. Again: It's not a model of industrial design, but Dell tends to reach for function, not form.
